Oil & Gas

Era’s experience operating in Suriname is unrivaled. We have been operating there exclusively since 2015 and have successfully completed several major exploration and seismic projects for some of the largest oil companies in the world.

Search and Rescue

When time matters, you want a company that offers your employees life-saving capabilities. Suriname Helicopters operates 24/7 and have solely dedicated SAR/emergency medical service helicopters at the ready. Our helicopters perform in all weather conditions and run VFR/IFR day/night operations with 15-minute launch time day and 30-minute launch time night capabilities. Suriname Helicopters’ rescue coordination call center operates 24 hours/day. We have a team of advanced life support paramedics and rescue swimmers aboard our overwater hoist capable helicopters that are suited for long-range flights.

Emergency Medical Services

Era's Suriname Helicopters and Priority 1 Air Rescue (P1AR) offer full-service SAR/EMS capability and turnkey solutions to offshore oil & gas companies located in Paramaribo, Suriname for a 24-hour SAR and advanced life support emergency medical services. We are the only helicopter operators that are certified by the Ministry of Health and possess the lifesaving drugs that are required for emergency situations. This is all accomplished with oversight from the local hospital doctors.

Utility

Suriname Helicopters’ AW139s are located in Paramaribo and can be used in a utility role if needed. We can remove some or even all 12 seats to carry supplies to and from your job site if needed. We have also used the helicopters to do several aerial filming projects to document the deep-water exploration projects off the coast of Suriname.

Leasing

Suriname Helicopters leases helicopters to many countries around the globe. If you have a need for a helicopter, please let us know. We can customize a “wet” or “dry” leasing option that matches your needs. Our experience in leasing allows us the flexibility to custom tailor a lease that works best for you.

Fleet Support

Suriname Helicopters operates the largest civilian fleet of Leonardo helicopters in the world. Because of this, we have the best support from the manufacturer when parts are needed fast; therefore, we are able to provide the best aircraft available to our customers.

Unmanned Aerial Solutions

Sometimes a helicopter is not the best tool for the job and you need something smaller or less costly. Suriname Helicopters has you covered with our Unmanned Aerial Solutions (UAS). Our team of UAS pilots are able to travel to you and can typically complete your project within the same day.

Fleet

Era’s Suriname fleet currently consists of two SAR-capable Leonardo AW139 helicopters. In addition to the twelve passenger AW139 helicopters based in Suriname, we also have access to the larger 16-passenger AW189, as well as the 19-passenger Sikorsky S92 GWE that can be quickly mobilized if desired.
